When I was a kid, before there were VCRt, my parents had a movie projector, and we'd watch Frankenstein and Dracula. I just always though that stuff was cool - creepy comics and monsters and horrific stuff. Music lends itself to that whole theme.

People get so upset about lyrics, and they're probably totally cool with horror movies. That doesn't really make sense.

That's what metal means to me, feeling that feeling when you hear something that totally turns you on.

I like whatever's good. Metal, rock, new or old - I don't care, as long as it does something to my brain.

I'm always interested in new things. I don't go seeking out every band I can hear because there are too many, especially now with the Internet. There's no way you can collect everything.

Soccer matches in Europe have riot police. Metal is just people sloshing around drunk and sloppy and having fun, and there's nothing wrong with that. It is a great outlet for aggression.
